restructured Cursor effective 2026-10-12 AI Coding

From October 12, 2026, new subscribers buy Cursor as part of The X Subscription, one plan for Grok, Cursor and X: Free $0, Plus $8, Premium $30, Super $100 and Ultra $200 a month, with one weekly usage pool shared with Grok that covers Cursor's own models. Third-party models such as Claude, GPT and Gemini are not included in any plan: on Premium and above they cost the model's API list price, paid from prepaid credit, and Free and Plus cannot use them. Hobby, Pro ($20), Pro+ ($60), Ultra and the Teams Standard and Premium seats continue for existing subscribers until they switch. Source ↗

Effective date unknown (1)

1 change recorded during October 12–18, 2026 has no known effective date. It is dated the day we recorded it, not the day its terms took effect, so it is not counted as a change that took effect during October 12–18, 2026. Where archived copies of the vendor's page bracket a change, it is dated by the first copy that shows the new terms.

Announced this week (1)

These changes were announced this week but take effect after this week. A change announced and taking effect in the same week is listed with the changes that took effect.

announced 2026-10-17 · effective 2026-12-31 Zeabur: Zeabur is shutting down. On December 1, 2026, Zeabur pauses every running service on its shared clusters, so shared-cluster apps stop serving that day unless restarted by hand, which Zeabur offers for backing up data. Dedicated servers cannot be renewed from December 1, so each one shuts down on the day its current term expires, even if that is before December 31. On December 31, 2026, all remaining dedicated servers and shared clusters stop. New dedicated servers and domains can no longer be bought since October 17, 2026. Source ↗
